I have £200 to spend on a android wear smartwatch, have been looking at the sony smartwatch as have a Z3 but what other watches should I take into consideration? battery life needs to be good as i only charge my phone every 2 days so would like the watch the same.

Pebble is not running android wear

 

Oh, my bad. But battery life is awesome on that thing. All other smartwatches now can only last a maximum of 2 days.

Well, Moto 720, or rather, The Moto One, following MS's naming scheme, is rumored to be in the works. That's the one that I'm most excited for. Hopefully batterylife will be better on this second generation. And Linus is always recommending the LG G Watch R.

I've got a pebble with my Z3 and it works great, I went on a hiking holiday for a week and came back with 30% battery with no charges the whole week. Honestly, if you want a good looking smartwatch the Moto 360 wins, but for battery life and being a watch first and foremost, the pebble wins hands down. Once you set up quick responses how you want them to be, and install a couple of apps and watch faces you like (UK transport and pebbleapps are my recommendations for a starter) then the pebble is just as good, if not better, than any other smartwatch around IMI

Your reply has not place here, not helpful, unnecessary use of foul language, and I am not, i am after a watch however want to make sure i am spending my money wisely.

Hey, I hate to state that smart watches are useless but eh.

 

Personally, what's in your best taste into what smart watch? Anything caught your eye?

The Original pebble. However I would probably go for the pebble time at this point if you can afford it, due to the speech to text ability and colour display.
